Research suggests that autistic people are at a higher risk of suicide than non-autistic people. Figures show that up to 66% of autistic adults had thought about suicide during their lifetime (compared to 20% of non-autistic adults), and up to 35% had planned or attempted suicide.
By interrogating data from coroner, primary care and A&E records, health psychologist Dr Pooja Saini identified a recurring theme; a lack of support and services for people in suicidal crisis, particularly within community settings.
